Dome A SAFE BUSINESS.
The Bank of Asheville finding
the demands upon its safe room in

to order another large safe, which
order Messrs. Farrell & Co., of Phil

How To TELL BRIDEs.-" Yes" said an
old and experienced hotel clerk Yesterday.
" | can tell a bride and groom at a glance.
For some reason or other they all seem
ashamed to have it known that they are
married, and they all try to give the i'm
preston that they are comparatively old
stagers, as it were, but it's no use with me.
| smile when | see their old trunks-to
come with brand new Ones you know,
would be to advertise the fact that they
had Just been wedded-and | laugh out
right when l receive letter from a bride
groom, saying: Myself and wife will be
at your house on Wednesday night. be-
tween p and l o'clock. Our luggage will
arrive during the afternoon, but we will
not arrive ourselves until after the theater.'
Then | watch and see them come in with
bundle of umbrellas and canes, hat-box
and couple of valises, which have no
hesitancy, of course in believing they
took to the play with them. How do |
tell bride and groom? Well, there's
something about the way they look at each
other when they are together, and when
the newly-married man is by himself
can tell by the manner in which he uses
the two words my wife He's not used
to the combination, and they sound as I'M
natural to me as they do to himself" -

A PASTORS DISCOVERY.
A While Man Tries to Wed IA Masked
Negress.

A White Nan Tries to Wed Masked
Negroes.
A Philadelphia dispatch to the New
York World says: A well-dressed couple
crossed the Delaware by the Market-street
ferry this evening, and, engaging 4 hack
on the Camden side, drove to the residence
of Rev. j. w. Bagly, pastor of the Taber-
nacle Church, on Broadway. BY invita-
ton the hickman accompanied them into
the pastors house to witness the marriage.
The clergyman had noticed that both the
| couple were nicely but not extensively
dressed, and that they seemed very merry
Gus ana anxious for the ceremony to be
performed as quickly as possible. The
groom was a tine-looking man, but the
| brides features were concealed by heavy
veil, which she seemed in no hurry to re-
move.
Mr.. Bagly took out the marriage-certifi-
cate book and began asking the usual
questions. The groom gave his name as
Joseph ). Ellen, 81 years of age English
man by birth, now living at Overlook,
Montgomery county, Pa, and his occupa-
ton that of a groom. Turning to the
bride-elect the preacher began to question
her. In a mumbling and smothered kind
of voice she said her name was Emma
Pye, 20 years old that she also lived at
Overlook and was employed at the same
place as Elem
The answers were satisfactory, but Mr.
| Bagly had his suspicious aroused by the
woman keeping her veil down. He re-
| quested them TO stand up before him in or
| der to pronounce them man and wife, but
| before he began the ceremony he asked the
bride to remove her veil This she re-
fused, and Mr.. Bagly said he would not
proceed until she did so. She still OBJ
jected when the reverend gentleman pulled
| the veil over her head and, to his astonish-
ment, discovered that her face was covered
by gauze mask. Mr., Bagly was indig-
nant, and he quickly tore the mask from
the woman's face, disclosing, as he termed
| it, ''the face of woman as black as the
ace of spades"
The parties were ordered Immediately
| from the house. The groom-elect, how
ever, was paralyzed with fear, and asked
! the minister "How much money would it
take to keep the matter quiet%'
81 will not shield YOU" replied Mr..
Bagly, "and," he added, get out of this
place Immediately, or I'll have you ar
rested"
The couple hastily left, got into the
coupe, and as fast as the hackman could
drive were taken to the ferry, where they
caught boat for Philadelphia. The
hackman says he was innocent of all
| knowledge of the woman being colored, or
else he might have been tempted to drive
them to the City Hall.

ANOTHER LINCOLN ANECDoTE.-Sey-
mour Curtis is one of the characters of
Stratford. He went to the war as fifer,
and since has been what may be called an
ardent, working Republican. He comes to
Bridgeport nearly every day, and on his
last visit told the following anecdote never
before printed: During the Presidential
campaign of 1856, when John c. Fremont
was the Republican nominee, Mr.. Curtis,
in company with James Booth, came to
this city to hear Lincoln speak As Lin
coin stepped upon the platform TO begin
his speech Booth said to Curtis, "What a
homely man. He's the homeliest man |
ever saw ~ But as Lincoln talked and
waxed eloquent, Booth brought his clench-
ed fist down on Curtis knee land the latter
said he hit hard), and said, Seymour
Curtis, he is not so bad looking after all
He grows handsomer all the time" AT
last, with a sledgehammer blow of his fist
on Curtis knee, Booth exclaimed, " Curtis,
he's the handsomest man l ever saw"

INCREASE OF INsANITY-I have re-
peatedly referred to the increase of insan-
ity and crime under our heartless system
of education. 1t is illustrated by every
collection of statistics. The increase be-
tween 1872 and 1885 was, in Maine, with
five per cent. increase in population, in
ten wears, % per cent. increase in insanity.
In New HAMPSHIRE, IS per cent in popu-
lation, So in insanity. In these two States
insanity increases four times as fast as pop
ulation. In Massachusetts, population SO
per cent, insanity 81 per cent In Rhode
Island, population 40 per cent, insanity "a
per cent. In Connecticut, population %
per cent, insanity 1914 per cent. The total
number of insane in New England has in
creased from 4,033, in 1872, to 1921, in
lSS5-an increase of 3,199 in IS years
Such are the estimates prepared from Off
cial reports by Z. P Augur, of Middle
town, Conn.

HYPoCRIsY OF \ LOVE TOKEN"
have become a hopeless cynic from nv
thirteen years experience as a iewelern
said the foreman of leading firm. al
have learned that so much is tinseI that
shines as gold that can only look on the
worlds splendor as clinquant, hollow sham
Even when the genuine glittering gold,
plucked from the bowels of rich Potosi and
set with gems of purest ray serene, adorns
fair throat or rounded arm or tapering
finger, it only produces sentiment of
scorn for the hypocrisy of human nature.
Let me illustrate: 1t has been for some
time 4 favorite fad with young men in So
clety when one becomes engaged to present
his finance with jeweled bracelet, which
the jeweler rivets on the wrist so that it
can not be slipped off. This is supposed
to be token of the eternal bondage of the
wearer to the donor and a perpetual re-
minder of fidelity. But in a day or two
the young lady receives a note from the
leweler requesting her to call. When she
does so she is shown a secret spring where
by she can put aside the bond at will.
And | have observed" added the ieweler,
that although the fair lady protests
against making use of the spring she is de-
lighted to find the secret of it."-Phlade-

HEART DISEASE AND INDIGESTION
There is not doubt of the truth of the
statement of New York physician that
half the cases of so-called heart disease
are only indigestion, and more men are
scared to death than die any osher way.
Dyspepsia causes pain in the breast and
makes the heart beat rapidly. The physi-
elan advises sufferers to give up tea, cof-
fee, tobacco beer and whisky--if they are
users of these things; eat brown bread and
plenty of good meat, especially rare roast
beef, and let hot bread, cake, pudding and
pastry severely alone. 4 powder Of bis
muth and bicarbonate Of soda before each
meal, for month, is recommended. That
self-treatment, with abundance of exercise
win effect cure IN nineteen cases out Q
| twenty.

THE NEAREST STAR-The distances of
the stars are ascertained in the same man
ner as those Of the sun and planets-that
is, by parallax. Instead, however, of tax
ing two stations at different parts of the
earth's surface, and laying down base
line between them, we take the diameter
OF the earth's orbit, or 1S3,000,000 miles.
as the base, the observations being taken at
intervals OF six months. Even with this
immense line, however, the parallax is so
small that 1t can only be detected Ivy the
most careful observations and accurate in
struments. In no case has it been found
to be greater than one second; and if this
be It's value, the distance of the star must
be ZO0OOO times as great as the value of
the sun. The parallax of about a dozen
stars has now been ascertained, and is
found to vary between 0.9l9 second and
O.O46 second The star a Centauri is the
nearest to the earth, and its distance is
estimated at 20,496,000,000 miles; while
the average distance of stars of the first
magnitude is probably three or four times
as great as this. These figures, however,
fail to convey to the mind any definite idea
as to the real distance perhaps the best
mode of expressing it is by stating that
light, with its speed of $4,000 miles A
second, takes 3! years to travel from that
star to lis, while the smaller telescope
stars are 50 remote that it must require up
wards of 5000 years for their light to
reach us.-Engineering and Mining Journal.

The BALANCE-oF-TRADE DELUsIoN.-
80 bright gentleman as Chauncey NJ.
Depew is talking about balance of trade
in its favor rs conclusive evidence of a
country's prosperity. This " balance-of-
trade delusion has been effectively illus
trated in this way: A man starts with
$4,000 in goods for Europe. He sells
them so advantageously after he gets there,
and he buys other goods from the proceeds
so shrewdly that he brings home goods to
the value of 100000 He enters these at
the Custom-house. Result: Balance of
trade against the country, $4,000. But if
he has to sell his goods at loss of S25, 900,
and brings back that sum, the balance of
trade in the country's favor is $4,000. Or,
more striking still, if the ship goes down
that contains these goods, and they are all
lest, then the balance of trade in favor of
the country is $4,000. That is, the more
individuals who compose the country lose
in trading with foreigners the richer the
country becomes. Could there be fallacv
more transparent, or more absurd claim
advanced rs growing out of it?-Boaou
Herald.

Lights up with many GOLDEN smile,
Just as his westward course is done;
And round its base sweet wall flowers bloom
And brave carnation waves his plume.

That bids retainers man yon wall,
And-ecS the peasant chuTls each morn

THE New TEST FOR AsIATIc CHOLERA.
Physicians who Investigated the cases OF
cholera from the steamship Britannia, in
Guiding several very doubtful ones besides
those of marked character, have reported
at length in the New York Medical
Journal the results of civilizations from the
dejecta of the patients The invariable
development of Koch's Comma bacillus"
of cholera, in great abundance, and no
others under the separate manipulations
of four experts, namely Drs. Prudden,
Biggs, Armstrong and Kinyoun) left no
doubt even in the most obscure cases, that
the disease was Asiatic cholera As it has
heretofore been often impossible to identify
the plague with certainty in its earliest
manifestations-and in fact, it would have
been entirely unsupported in some of these
cases-this new bacillus test is of immense
value. Sporadic and doubtful cases can be
clearly determined, and alarm quieted Oh
the earliest warning sounded for action, as
the case may be.
